Himuroten Shrine

This shrine is dedicated to Himuro-ten, a deity associated with ice and cold weather protection, which is particularly significant in the mountainous regions of Shikoku. Worshippers come here to pray for protection from harsh winter conditions and to seek blessings for safe passage through mountain trails during colder months. The shrine serves as an important spiritual center for local communities who have historically relied on the mountains for their livelihood, offering prayers for both physical protection and agricultural success despite challenging weather conditions.
